LA was a trendy Super Bowl pick after starting the season 3-0. Their opening week win over the Chiefs in Brazil was particularly impressive. They followed that up with victories over the Raiders and Broncos. However, consecutive losses to the Giants and Commanders, a struggle to get past the Dolphins, and a beating at the Colts' hands led to questions, especially about QB Justin Herbert and their injury-plagued defense.

The 49ers and Giants meet this week in a battle of banged-up teams. Both have lost several key players and are making the most of what they have. The 49ers enter as marginal road favorites.

The Ravens and Dolphins face off this week in a key battle. Both entered the season as playoff hopefuls before a brutal 1-5 start. After impressive wins last week, they seek to build momentum.

Given how invested the Vikings are in J.J. McCarthy, it's unlikely that backup Carson Wentz could have wrested the job from him no matter what Wentz did. But Minnesota was 2-3 with Wentz, and the veteran was mediocre at best with 6 TD passes, 5 interceptions, and an 85.8 passer rating.

Washington and Kansas City face off this week. The Commanders enter this matchup as the underdogs by a large margin. They'll aim to overcome their troubles against the surging Chiefs.

The Titans and Colts face off in a divisional clash this week. Tennessee is struggling with a 1-6 record and faces a brutal task to take on the 6-1 Colts in Indianapolis. They are heavy underdogs.

In the afterglow of the Packers acquiring Micah Parsons from the Cowboys and their impressive wins in Weeks 1 and 2 over 2024 playoff teams, the Lions and Commanders, Green Bay was a hot Super Bowl pick.

The Cowboys' Week 7 shellacking of the Commanders, 44-22, was the third game this season in which they scored 40+ points. Ironically, their positives and negatives came to the forefront in those games. They nearly lost to the Giants, winning 40-37, and they tied with the Packers, 40-40.

Before Week 7 against the Dolphins, the Browns had not scored more than 17 points in any game this season. They put up 31 against Miami, but one was on a Tyson Campbell pick-6. Miami turned the ball over four times.
